While reading the end chapter, my brain just went out the window. I did not think it was that person. (I will not do spoilers.)

Adam- I hate him. Bro he cheated on his wife and thought he could just divorce her and run away with Kelly? Also, why is he do aggressive? The frick?

Sarah- A badass in this world because of feminism! Also, because of how she defends her husband throughout the entire book. 

Overall this book was pretty decent. I didn’t expect that ending but some of it I did. Just little snippets.

To be completely serious, I would have rated this a five star but I can’t. I got too many spoilers for the second book, I will NOT be reading it btw.

Liz- I love her. To a point, in the end she pissed me off but she made up for it for admitting her mistakes and sucking up the pride. I also love that she got closure in the end, it was sweet and a good end to the book. 

Wes- I need him. Now. I need his personality, his sass, his intelligence and skills. I absolutely love him. He had such good character development. In the beginning I knew he was jealous of Michael when Liz brought him up. I love jealous Wes. It’s adorable and hot.

Overall it was a fun read, I hate that the chapters were as long as they were. The point of that, none. No reason whatsoever. But the writing was well done, I enjoyed reading this book, I liked how everyone was connected, I don’t like how they made Liz always hang out with the men. I mean I understand how she had to get close to Michael, but couldn’t there have been more girls there that wasn’t just Laney?

Honestly, I loved this book. It got me out of my reading slump, thankfully. I loved the connections between all the characters, also the growth🤭.

Waverly- She is me wrapped in a tall person and not me. Get it? I loved her humor and her bluntness and sarcasm. Literally my favorite character, she also had such amazing growth. From being a shy introverted girl to a more outgoing person.

Blake- He pissed me off in the beginning. His attitude just…pissed me off. To be frank, he still does, but not as much. His character development was glorious. He wasn’t as pissy half the time. I love it. Also, I adore the fact that he went along with Waverly and her quirkiness.

Overall I loved this book. The writing was well done, it made me so happy. An amazing read to get out of a slump. Probably will go buy more books by her, not gonna lie.

This book made me want to be straight. I hated it. I love Casey, okay? But this was not the type of book I can get behind on.

Theo- I hate them. They made me hate literally everyone. This person, lord help me. If I catch them in the streets they better be running. Basically I hate them because they constantly changed the rules or made new ones. Also they had a petty grunge with Kit. Like no. I hated them so much I almost hated all non-binary people. But I don’t, just Theo. Theo just needs to jump. Just because they are hot does not mean they get my appreciation.

Kit- I honestly have no opinion on him, he didn’t really stand out to me, but like, I don’t like him entirely because he never called Theo out. I like Kit when he uses the proper pronouns, good bonus to him. 

Overall I hated this book. I can’t get over my hatred over the connection too. The second chance pissed me off, they almost argued constantly. Like no. Also, the fact it’s so unrealistic that Theo charms people and gets a damn boat. No. I love the writing, but I hate the characters. Very cringe too.

So honestly I enjoyed this book. I didn’t like how idiotic Evelyn was, she lost most people in her life because of her drive for fame. Disregard to her husbands (plural) and her soulmate.

Evelyn- I like her character in the end. She did develop feelings and understand how to fix things and how not to ruin things. Still ruined things though. I also hate her. She changed for so many men, I hate men sometimes because of this. Don’t get me wrong, I understand why she did, I just hate how she went along with it. (I know how it was back then, I swear.) 

Overall I liked this book, to a point. I don’t think Celia and Evelyn were meant to be, only because of the fact that they kept destroying their own relationship. I LOVE Harry. Best character. I did like how the characters interacted with each other, and how it was formatted. I also liked the writing, sometimes got confused when the switch between Evelyn and Monique happened, but still good.

I loved this book so much. I genuinely felt Meredith’s love for her sister. Also, I’m very incredibly grateful that I got a Wit perspective(I will only call him that.)

Meredith- I love her. She didn’t succumb to her idiot ex’s stupid attempts, I love when a fmc doesn’t. Plus, I adore the fact she wasn’t the normal base line of a fmc, like the common kind. Anyway, her pain was so strong I actually did feel it. That’s the best kind of writing.

Wit- This man is actually the type of man I will now base all others on. He is incredibly sweet, plus when he was jealous of Meredith’s ex, it wasn’t even that bad. Literally just threw a rock in the water at best. I love how he isn’t even the normal type of mmc either, he really took the game seriously. I genuinely thought that was adorable.

Overall I loved this book with all my heart. Like, you can bet my ass I’ll reread it next summer. Such a good summer book. It was fast paced, I just loved the writing and this book. I don’t think words can describe how much I love this book.

I loved this book. It was incredibly touching and…Lordy…just overall amazing. Though I was hesitant with the ELEVEN year age gap.(I’m not a big fan of huge age gaps🙈).

Lotus- Too notch character, she is an empowering woman. I love how she told blank point what she wanted. I love when people aren’t confusing!!! Lotus is still a person of adversity but I admire how far she has come. Her character development is what I live for, honestly.

Kenan- I got annoyed with him sometimes, but overall for this man, he wasn’t bad. He only annoyed me when he went all possessive and stuff. Literally punched a man. Not preppy. I liked how he finally stood up to his ex-wife. Deserved, though I don’t think she deserves his kindness. 

Overall I did enjoy this book a lot. Kennedy Ryan definitely deserves an award for how she handles important topics in her books, that is admirable. Hella admirable and fucking awesome. She did handle this with care which makes me happy. Anyway, I loved the dynamics of our characters, even when they’re mad.

I love this series. I also hate how cringe it gets sometimes, but damn it’s addicting. Like really addicting to read. I’ll try to make this quick though.

Tory- She is my favorite thought she is a brat sometimes, and yes she does have a sex addiction. But she is still the realist character besides Grenadine. Kick ass, Tory!

Darcy- She is the sweetest person, I also love her character development. She was like the pushover until she realized she was fae. Good job. 

Darius- I need him like I need air. My man basically. I understand why he bullies the Vegas, to a point, but stick up to your father! My word.

Seth- He is my entertainment. He is so clingy it just gives me entertainment. He is basically doing it to himself, the loneliness. But I also know he can’t help it, so I feel bad for him there. 

Caleb- He can go die in a ditch. I hate him, I don’t even know why. Like he is good looking, but he is so obnoxious. Ugh.

Max- I am indifferent to him so far, he can do whatever for now. I just need more of the harassment he keeps getting.

Orion- This man…this man is too tier, right next to Darius. Orion may not be sweet, but to Darcy, he is a lovable man.

Overall I really did like this book, there were some parts that made me question if I should continue this series. But I will be, mainly to laugh at the boys.

‘FUCK YEAH!!!’ Is the first thing I did besides hysterically laughing. I love this book.

Scarlett- I love her, I truly do, but damn. I want to slap her for being so damn shy about what she wants. It’s also because I have a different personality than her. When I read about her sexual preferences, I cackled. I freaking cackled. As least she owns up to it. Besides that, I adore the fact that she did grow from her block (no clue who to phrase that). She is a woman that is empowering.

Lukas- This fucking Sweden man. Goddamn. Why is he so hot? The tattoos too. Good lord, I am actually jealous of a man. This is weird. Also I love how he focuses on after care for Scarlett after the roughness. That’s important. Plus the trust, and his brains. (I am actually in love with him.) He is actually one of my favorites because he is caring despite his attitude during spicy time. That is what I’m here for, bitches.(please don’t take offense.)

Overall I’m incredibly pleased with this book. Only reason it’s not a five star from me is because I don’t like the sex scenes. They aren’t bad, I just personally like them. But their relationship is so delicious and….good lord. The writing, mainly the style, I love it. I literally felt like I was Scarlett for a second. And I can tell Ali might struggle with writing first person male perspectives, which I don’t care about because she makes up for it by being so fucking awesome. (not sorry for cursing🤭)

I’m not gonna lie, I had no expectations for this book. But for the standard I did hold it to, it met it.

Riley- She is an incredible person, I just feel like she could have done better. She could have held off the anger and talked to Max when he was feeling skittish. But still, I loved her music, even just reading it. That’s the only thing I would have changed about her.

Max- He needs to learn to stay. He had potential of being a great character, just needs to learn. I do love how he grown over the entire book. That part is admirable.

Overall I didn’t like the book. One do the reasons is the grand romantic gesture scares the fuck out of me. Also, there were some repeating phrases like, ‘fucking perfect’ I hate repetitive writing that happens more than three times. But overall this book was technically good, just not my type of book. The stage fright I would have had for the romantic gesture killed me while reading it.
